“Being an African woman, I thought there was not cure for my pigmentation and acne break-outs.
I decided to undergo the Cosmelan depigmentation treatment at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre and was pleasantly surprised at the results.  My skin is smooth and blemish free.  Even my husband mentioned that this is the only treatment that has ever worked.  My initial fear was that it wouldn’t be successful as I have tried so many products, but this was the only treatment that I had tried in 7 years that reduced my scars and removed my acne & pigmentation.
I no longer wear layers and layers of make-up.  Now I only wear make-up because I want to, not because I have to. 

Dr Gordon Cohen, you are the best!”

Khanyi Mbau recently underwent a series of treatments at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre which were very prominently featured in print and TV media, such as The Real Goboza on SABC 1, Heat Magazine and True Love magazine. 
Khanyi wrote to us about her experience at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre: “I have a relatively well-shaped nose, but I wanted a bit more definition on my bridge. I decided to undergo a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure – there is no cutting involved and only tissue fillers are used to change the shape of your nose. I liked the idea because the results aren’t permanent and the treatment not as traumatic as a surgical procedure. Initially I was a bit concerned that it might be painful but I needn’t have worried. The treatment is such a party-trick – it was over before I knew and I instantly had a better shaped nose! According to my Facebook fan-page I look like a picture of perfection and my Twitter-following has tripled. I would recommend this treatment to anybody. Your nose defines your face after all!”

Khanyi also underwent a body-sculpting procedure called Laser Lipolysis, performed by Dr Cohen. Regarding this treatment she had the following to say:
“I have a very busy schedule and don’t always have time for gym. Having a few swim wear shoots coming up, I wanted to shape my thighs and decided to undergo the Laser Lipo procedure. I must admit that I was a bit sceptical at first. I was scared about the possible pain involved and also whether I would see any difference afterwards. Once again, my fears were unfounded. I knew I would see change but I didn’t know there would be such a remarkable difference so soon! My following on Faceb

Kedibone Nathan embarked on The Melrose Aesthetic Centre’s Detox and Wellness programme on the 20th of Aug 2011.

Nearly 2 weeks into the programme she had the following to say:
“My main reasons for going on the D & W programme were that I wanted to be healthy, for my clothes to fit and I wanted to sleep better.  My initial concern was that it might not work or that it might be one of those diets that leave one hungry, lacking essential nutrients and I was worried about whether I’d be able to maintain the weight-loss once I’ve reached my goal.  Just a few weeks into the programme I have already lost a few centimetres and my clothes are starting to fall off!  My confidence is restored and my daughter isn’t embarrassed to appear in public with me anymore.  Some people say I look younger!  One of the things that changed is my relationship with food.  I know now what food to buy, what is good for me and what isn’t and the purpose that food serves in one’s life.  I have much more energy and exercise is now part of my lifestyle.  I also make sure I drink enough water to keep my body hydrated.  My life is literally changing one shake at a time and I am loving it”.

A month into the programme Kedibone stated:  “I am still losing centimetres and gaining confidence.  I somehow feel “taller”, because I’m slimmer.  My family still remark that I am looking even younger.  Initially one of my concerns, the D & W programme is so easy to follow – unlike some diets that are difficult to keep up with!  I am feeling great and don’t hide in the background when meeting my friends anymore.  I look forward to dressing up and don’t hate shopping for clothes anymore”.

A month and a half into the programme Kedibone added:  “Although I was expecting to lose weight, my expectations were met beyond belief.  I have learned to control myself when it comes to eating – food no longer controls me.  I know what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat.  My friends and family are all enquiring as to what my secret is.  My dress-sense has changed completely.  I am no longer afraid to show my body and my confidence is still growing on a daily basis.  The Detox and Wellness programme has brought tremendous change and improvement in my life – on a physiological, social and emotional level”.

When it comes to the Detox and Wellness programme, everybody isn’t always motivated by a desire to loose weight. One of our clients who recently completed the course suffered from low energy levels and just wanted to feel and look healthier. In her case, the weight-loss was an additional bonus. When asked about her motivation to embark on the programme, she simply stated: “I wanted to feel healthier, have more energy and change my lifestyle”. Well, she’s done just that. She feels more confident to go to gym, actually enjoys the exercise and feels and looks much healthier and happier. She’s passed her newly acquired good eating habits on to her children and other family members, so all of them are benefitting from an improved, healthier lifestyle. Her final say about the programme: “This is an amazing programme. It has taught me so much and has literally been life-changing for me. Thank you, Dr Cohen”.
